Treatment Rituals

Inspired by Chinese tradition ESPA has created a collection of Rituals specifically for The Ritz Carlton, Sanya.

A truly personal experience, each treatment ritual is created to meet the specific needs of the moment. Elements of ancient Chinese traditions and western practices are linked together to nurture and rebalance the mind and body.

Oriental Life Dance

This unusually, free-flowing joint release massage is Thai-inspired and results in gently calming the mind and replacing stress-related tension with an immense feeling of peace. Unique to each client, this is a personal experience which ensures freedom from both physical and mental constraints. This intensely relaxing ritual begins with a symbolic ceremonial foot cleansing to wash away the stresses and tensions of the real world. A skin softening salt and oil scrub and a gentle facial cleanse prepare the body to receive a massage combining body rocking, entire body diagonal stretching and tension releasing rotational movements. A deep oriental head massage is the ultimate conclusion to this powerful distressing experience.

The ‘Yu Zu’ Reflex Ritual

Foot massage is a fundamental element of Traditional Chinese Medicine. ‘Yu’ meaning ‘precious’, ‘Zu’ meaning ‘feet’, this foot massage is designed to ease the flow of ‘Qi’ along energy channels whilst subtly relaxing fatigued feet. Following the foot cleansing ritual, reflex zones and pressure points on the feet are massaged then a warm soothing compress infused with Traditional Chinese herbs is applied to create an overall feeling of well being.

The Brightening Ritual

Skin conditioning and tension releasing this treatment combination brings together intensive care for the hands and an advanced ESPA Skin Brightener facial tailored to the specific needs of your skin incorporating Chinese acupressure massage techniques. During the soothing facial mask the hands and arms are gently exfoliated, then massaged using a rich blend of aromatherapy oils and Skin Brightener. This is followed by a warm paraffin wax treatment and a finishing application of white clay hand cream to help even-out skin tone. The result is deep relaxation, restored and revitalised skin and intensely nourished hands and arms.

The Restoring Ritual

A uniquely soothing and hydrating treatment that heals and restores sun exposed skins, this ritual combines a cooling body envelopment and desensitizing facial to calm and deliver comfort to the skin. Ideal to combat the effects of the tropical environment and leave you feeling totally relaxed and refreshed.

Advanced Holistic Treatments

Hot stone therapy used for thousands of years is renowned for harmonizing, cleansing and relaxing the body at its deepest level. Volcanic in origin, basalt lava stones are rich in minerals and used for deep body massage and intensive energy work.

ESPA is bringing this ancient method into a range of new contemporary treatments for The Ritz Carlton Sanya.

The ‘Shen’ Harmonizer with Hot Volcanic Stones

Both Chinese and Western philosophies recognise the subtle energy centres and meridians of the body which maintain equilibrium and inner harmony and through which ‘Qi’ energy flows. Restricted or congested energy centres can affect the body and mind both emotionally and physically and natural energies can become subdued. The individual’s Shen is bought into harmony with this exquisite treatment.

Following skin smoothing exfoliation and gentle facial cleansing, hot stones, rich in minerals are used for deep body massage and intensive energy work. Stones are placed on specific energy points and are used to massage the body to help balance chakras, aid relaxation and dissolve stress, bringing new energy to depleted zones.

The ‘Qi’ Balancing, Back Face and Scalp Treatment with Hot Volcanic Stones

Harmony within one’s innate character is achieved by balancing the qualities of our opposite type, which are reflective of Yin and Yang. A powerful stress releasing treatment using hot volcanic stones to work on deep seated tension and restore balance to vital energy points.The initial, deep cleansing back exfoliation is followed by a hot stone massage with essential oils restoring equilibrium to mind and body. Hot stones are placed along the spine, shoulders and neck to soothe, relax and harmonise.

The facial includes massage with a deeply nourishing facial oil and the application of an intensive face treatment mask, tailored to the individual. Whilst the mask is taking effect, the acupressure head massage helps clear the mind, calm the spirit and ease tension. The result is re-hydrated, nourished and soothed skin combined with a sense of deep relaxation.

Facials

All ESPA Facials begin with a consultation followed by a detailed skin analysis to identify your individual needs and concerns. This enables your therapist to tailor the treatment to your specific requirements and offer relevant home care advice to enable you to deliver long term benefits to your skin.

Target Zones

Pre and Post Natal Treatment

This total body treatment has been carefully designed for pregnant and nursing mothers.

The remainder of the body is then covered in the nourishing mask and comfortingly wrapped to relax the muscles and the scalp is therapeutically massaged.

This treatment improves the tonicity and comfort of the skin, and creates a sense of total relaxation.
